He said the index showed signs of stabilisation after holding above 23,200 in the previous session, though the broader near-term structure remains weak. A sustained move above 23,400 could open the way toward 23,500-23,600, while 23,100-23,070 stands as the crucial support zone on the downside. Separately, Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, flagged that while WTI crude&#8217;s pullback from its recent peak offers some macro relief, oil hovering near 100 dollars a barrel remains high enough to keep investors cautious given its potential impact on India&#8217;s import bill, inflation outlook and corporate margins, with continuing geopolitical uncertainty adding to the overhang.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Nifty needs to reclaim the 23,300-23,400 zone before its near-term structure can be called genuinely bullish again, according to Ponmudi at Enrich Money, even as the index showed early signs of stabilisation after holding above the 23,200 mark in the previous session.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, in comments on the broader macro backdrop, Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said that while the recent pullback in WTI crude from its highs has offered some relief, oil prices near 100 dollars a barrel remain elevated enough to keep investors cautious, given the knock-on effects on India&#8217;s import bill, inflation trajectory and corporate profit margins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a

23,300-23,400 as the key resistance band standing between the current stabilisation attempt and a more durable recovery.

This kind of range-bound, resistance-capped action is typical after a period of volatility, when buyers and sellers are still testing each other&#8217;s conviction at specific price levels rather than one side clearly winning out.<\/p>\n<p>Traders watching the Nifty 23,300-23,400 zone specifically should treat it as the line that separates a genuine trend change from a temporary pause within a broader consolidation, rather than assuming stabilisation alone confirms a bottom is in place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style:italic;color:#000000;margin:14px 0;\">Also read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/varmora-granito-initial-public-offering-price-band-dates\">Varmora Granito IPO Price Band Set at Rs 140-148, Listing Fixed for September 22<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oil_Near_100_a_Barrel_Remains_a_Macro_Overhang\"><\/span><strong>Oil Near $100 a Barrel Remains a Macro Overhang<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On the commodity side, Enrich Money&#8217;s Ponmudi R noted that WTI crude&#8217;s decline from its recent peak has eased some pressure, but with prices still hovering close to 100 dollars a barrel, the macro caution has not fully lifted. Elevated crude directly affects India&#8217;s import bill, since the country imports the vast majority of its crude requirements, which in turn feeds into both the trade deficit and domestic inflation readings.<\/p>\n<p>For corporates, sustained high oil prices raise input and logistics costs across multiple sectors, from aviation and paints to chemicals and tyres, squeezing margins even when topline demand holds up. Continuing geopolitical uncertainty, which has been a recurring driver of oil price volatility this year, adds a further layer of unpredictability that keeps this factor on investors&#8217; watch list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style:italic;color:#000000;margin:14px 0;\">Also read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/tata-sons-rbi-listing-chandrasekaran-succession-board-meeting\">Tata Sons Board Weighs RBI Listing Rejection and Chandrasekaran&#8217;s Succession in Key Meeting<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><em>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/univest-stocks-investment\/id6443753518\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest iOS App<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.univest.capp&#038;hl=en_IN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest Android App<\/a> to track Nifty levels and market commentary live.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Enrich Money&#8217;s view frames the next leg for Nifty around a specific technical band, the 23,300-23,400 zone, while flagging oil near 100 dollars a barrel as a genuine, ongoing macro constraint rather than a resolved risk.
